>La eliminación de los dígrafos ch y ll del inventario de letras del abecedario no supone, en modo alguno, que desaparezcan del sistema gráfico del español.

Important distinction to make. They are still part of written Spanish. To be completely honest I didn't even know they were part of the alphabet before and I wouldn't know how that affects everyday life.

The capital Eszett is a new letter that (almost literally) no one used before




>and I wouldn't know how that affects everyday life.

It mostly affected lexicographic order. 'ch' was between 'c' and 'd'.

So for example, when 'ch' was a separate letter in the alphabet, 'chico' (little, boy) would come after 'cristal' (crystal) in the dictionary. Now it's the other way round.

Something similar happened with 'll'.
